[QUOTE="Baggy Bags, post: 729938, member: 22819"] I know how incredibly terrifying it is when your child suddenly changes. My son was "such a good boy" too. He has also been homeschooled for the last 8 years. Right now you are in shock. You will feel despair, anger, sadness, rage, guilt... so many feelings. But, ultimately, you will focus on helping your son through this, whatever it is, and that focus will be, and needs to be, stronger than the feelings you are feeling. I know you probably can't think or see straight right now, but you are about to become an expert in your son's problem (again, whatever it is). You'll do everything you can for him, like we are all trying to, and you will learn that it wasn't your fault. This is the worst part. This is when you feel completely lost. There will be other very hard parts, like when you come to understand that he may never be the same boy again. Take care of yourself. Eat and try to sleep enough. Get therapy, or at least talk to supportive friends and family. Try to have alone time with your husband. I know this is hard. I was where you are just 9 months ago, when I lost my perfect son to whatever it is that took over him. Stay strong. He needs you to be strong. You're going to find strength that you didn't know you had. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
